How about we let the people decide? Bush's exact words were, "Most of the tax cuts went to low- and middle-income Americans". Tomorrow I will be at a happy hour with a large social circle. I am going to make this simple by running an experiment. I will replace "tax cuts" with "beer nuts" and will replace "low- and middle-income Americans" with my buddy "David". So the sentence will become "most of the beer nuts went to David". I will ask the people, individually so as not to tamper with their opinions, what this phrase means to them. Will you agree with the opinion of the people? [edit] my opinion is of course that it means there was X amount of beer nuts and David chow downed most of it. Which is in accord with my opinion that Bush's sentence means that out of whatever amount tax cuts were, most of it did not go to the rich (which is a lie).
